Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called on Democrats to reform the Supreme Court should they win a “trifecta in 2028” on Monday, calling it “a broken institution” that was causing “an untold amount of damage to the fabric” of the country.

“If you look at what’s happening at the district court level, at the court of appeals level, it doesn’t matter who the president was who appointed the judge. The judges have ruled, I think, courageously and correctly,” said Holder during an interview with liberal media company Meidas Touch. “It’s only when you get to the Supreme Court that you see these problems start to arise.”
He continued:
And it’s the use of, this overuse of the shadow docket. You know, by taking these cases and decided them, essentially deciding them, without hearing any oral argument, with any adequate briefing. You know, deciding these really important matters in that way challenges the legitimacy of the court and does an untold amount of damage to the fabric, legal fabric of this nation.
I think the reality is, and it pains me to say this, I think the Supreme Court is a broken institution and it’s something that has to be, I think, a part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. What are we gonna do about the Supreme Court? And I think that we have to think about, again, talking about the acquisition, the use of power, if there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028, and I think the possibility of that is pretty good.

Supreme Court reform is something that has to be considered. Term limits, I think, at a minimum. Potentially expanding the court is something I think that also should be considered. We cannot leave in place without a discussion at least and I think without substantive reforms of being put in place this Supreme Court as it is presently constituted.
In 2023, Holder – who served as U.S. attorney general under former president Barack Obama – argued that President Donald Trump would be in prison if he were a “normal person.”
